Hi,

i looked for long time for informations about the FAT-FS. In this forum are very good threads like this one.
After days of searching i found nothing, that works or helps me.
At the link (a few lines above) are examples, but no one works. In one example are missing many important files and there are too much (~200) syntaxical errors, in the other one are many other bad errors.

Can someone give me one of the following things ?
  • A little FAT-library
  • A SHORT (not 100 pages, because i have more than programming to do) documentation about FAT.

Documentation: FAT
Library: What compiler are you actually using that things break beyond repair?

I've also found the Wikipedia page very helpful.

I got my driver working by following the Wikipedia and the local Wiki articles together.

ERm. I know a GREAT place for information on FAT.

Its called Time, patience and effort :P.
Play with it long enough, grow to understand it and eventually, you will have a functional FAT driver.

In particular the first one in the FAT list.
